Hi Jackie,
Yes, jaws 5 will not read out that menu for you but what you can do and
frankly is the best scan you can do is treat it ti a boot time scan doing the
following:
1. press the application key.
2. Press letter "C". Now you will be instantly dropped into the
"perform a boot time scan" dialogue box.
3. Tab and press spacebar on the "scan archeive files checkbox", tab
again and check the advanced checkbox, tab again and down arrow once to delete
infected files, press tab key once more to allow delete or move system filesand
down arrow once to this choice.
Note:When you down arrow on this last box a warning may appear, just hit on
the ok button or yes.
4. Now tab over to the schedule button and press spacebar. Your laptop
will shutdown and then reboot where upon rebooting it will perform a thorough
scan of your hard drive.
Note: before you hit spacebar on that schedule button, just tab across all
the previous settings again and make sure those checkboxes are checked as they
behave a bit strange with jaws and don't always give you accurate readings as
to if they are checked properly or not.
Good luck,
Paul.

hey Paul
trying to treat my laptop to a little scan this evening. but having a slight
problem. I followed your steps and was doing great as far as cancel memory scan
and after pressing the applications key my jaws just refused to read menus, it
just kept saying context menu. i'm working off jaws 5 something, so could it
be a case that this version of jaws isn't accessible with avast. I would
doubt that I have any virus or should I say my laptop hasn't got a virus as I
have a head cold but would just like to run a scan to be on the safe side, if
only I could run one on myself.
yours
Jackie
